Differentially expressed miRNA profiles of serum-derived exosomes in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the expressed microRNA (miRNA) profiles of serum-derived exosomes of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and normal hearing controls to identify exosomal miRNAs that may be associated with SSNHL or serve as biomarkers for SSNHL. Methods: Peripheral venous blood of patients with SSNHL and healthy controls was collected to isolate exosomes. Nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and Western blotting were used to identify the isolated exosomes, after which total RNA was extracted and used for miRNA transcriptome sequencing. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) were identified based on the thresholds of Results: Exosomes were isolated from serum and identified based on particle size, morphological examination, and expression of exosome-marker proteins. A total of 18 exosomal DE-miRNAs, including three upregulated and 15 downregulated miRNAs, were found in SSNHL cases. Gene ontology (GO) functional annotation analysis revealed that target genes in the top 20 terms were mainly related to "protein binding," "metal ion binding," "ATP binding," and "intracellular signal transduction." Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that these target genes were functionally enriched in the "Ras," "Hippo," "cGMP-PKG," and "AMPK signaling pathways." The expression levels of PC-5p-38556_39 and PC-5p-29163_54 were significantly downregulated and that of miR-93-3p_R+1 was highly upregulated in SSNHL. Consequently, the consistency rate between sequencing and RT-qPCR was 75% and sequencing results were highly reliable. Conclusion: This study identified 18 exosomal DE-miRNAs, including PC-5p-38556_39, PC-5p-29163_54, and miR-93-3p, which may be closely related to SSNHL pathogenesis or serve as biomarkers for SSNHL.
